Photo instructions for how to close a coaster and a pot holder
1. Take the coaster or the pot holder so that the bad side is facing you. Then insert your hook in two stitches from the opposite sides grabbing only the loops that are closer to the inside.
2. Then take the same color yarn that you used for the last round and yarn over.
3. Pull the yarn through. Now you have a loop on your hook.
4. Then insert the hook in the next two stitches from both sides grabbing just the loops that are closer to the inside.
5. Yarn over.
6. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.
7. Then pull the first loop through the second loop on your hook. You have just made a slip stitch.
8. Keep making slip stitches until you completely close the coaster or the pot holder.
